To optimally avoid cueing effects and computer scoring problems in computerized examinations a computerized long-menu question (CLM) was developed. This question type was compared to open-ended questions in one treatment group and to multiple-choice questions in another treatment group. Also, scores were compared to self-perceived computer anxiety of the participants. CLMs yield comparable scores to open-ended questions, but the scores differ significantly from those on multiple-choice tests. Correlations in the first comparison (CLMs with multiple-choice) were higher than those in the second camparison (CLMs with open-ended questions). The amount of positive and negative cueing was considerably higher in the first than in the second comparison. Response times of CLMs were higher than those of multiple-choice questions and open-ended questions, differing significantly from both. Computer anxiety did not influence the mean scores in either comparison. Therefore, in computerized testing CLMs seem to offer an acceptable replacement of open-ended questions.
为了在计算机化考试中最佳地避免提示效应和计算机评分问题，开发了一种计算机化长菜单问题（CLM）。将这种问题类型与一个治疗组中的开放式问题以及另一个治疗组中的多项选择题进行了比较。此外，还将分数与参与者的自我感知计算机焦虑进行了比较。CLM产生的分数与开放式问题相当，但与多项选择题的分数有显著差异。第一次比较（CLM与多项选择题）中的相关性高于第二次比较（CLM与开放式问题）中的相关性。第一次比较中正面和负面提示的数量明显高于第二次比较。CLM的回答时间高于多项选择题和开放式问题，且与两者均有显著差异。在任何一次比较中，计算机焦虑都没有影响平均分数。因此，在计算机化测试中，CLM似乎可以作为开放式问题的可接受替代方案。
